CANBERRA: The first train of the Wheatstone LNG terminal in Western Australia is expected to begin this month, project operator Chevron confirmed to S&P Global Platts Tuesday.
Chevron is currently in the process of starting up the plant, with cooling down expected to commence shortly. LNG production is expected to start in August, Chevron Upstream EVP Jay Johnson told investors Friday. A Chevron spokesman said more precise timeframe for the loading and sale of the first cargo was not available. The project will include an onshore facility located at Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area, 12 km west of Onslow in Western Australia’s Pilbara region.
